Listing not showing on internatinoal sites.

[chubchubmcnub]

I have listed item on ebay.com.au which I wish to sell on ebay.co.uk and ebay.com.

After talking to support they told me that I have to offer worldwide shipping, which I did.

I waited 24hours and looked again.

Then rang them back and was told that I have to "customise" it by setting custom shipping options.

Which I did. I selected all the boxes usa europe asia etc.

And waited again.

It still does not show up on those sites but it does show up on ebay.at and ebay.ie.

Is there an easy solutoin to this?

I conducted a search on eBay UK, and go 0 results for the rat - I know that an item number search will bring up a listing on an international site even if it's not otherwise visible, though (people will generally only know or access the number via access to the listing).

It did show up for me when first listed.

I suspect the UK site boots it out after checking it and this probably takes a while ?

Hi. I couldn't see your items on ebay UK or ebay US (com) when I searched a few moments ago.

I noticed on your Aussie listings you are charging .70 for Standard postage. You might want to check the thickness

of those little guys because if they are more than 5mm thick they won't be allowed to go as a normal letter with

just 70c on it. Once inside the mailer if they are less than 20mm thick they could probably go as a 'large letter'

which will be a minimum of $1.40. If thicker than 20mm will have to go as a parcel....

DANG ... 

Thanks for the heads up.

This padwan has MUCH to learn !

These are all my daughters trashies and she has 300 of them ! 

So I guess I had better get it right if I want to make her a profit.

Not sure if I can post the link (sometimes they get removed) but if you google

domestic letters australia post

the info should come up which shows the rates and measurements

such as

Small letter (includes postcards)

max weight 250g

max size 130 x 240 x 5mm

$0.70

Large letter

max weight 125g

max size 260 x 360 x 20mm

$1.40

126g-250g is $2.10

251-500g is $2.50

Might be trial and error but for such small items you might want to consider bundling a few together and sell as 'lots'

Uneven/lumpy packets can cause sorting equipment etc to jam, rip items apart or delay items so think about your packaging also

ok, now its showing

Postage to: Australia, Europe, Asia, United States, New Zealand

Excludes: Africa, PO Box

So you must have to check the boxes for UK and Canada and put in a postage cost.

[chubchubmcnub]

It is still not showing for me, can anyone else see it on either ebay.com or ebay.co.uk ?

[foxette-in-sox]

Why are you excluding PO box addresses ?

Sorry,I haven't checked to see if I can see your listings-just read curraone's post (REALLY bad spelling of id me thinks,oops )

I was selling some rare items internationally a few years ago

I had the same problem..could'nt do free shipping so I just made it $1.00...almost the same!

[putney32]

have you done your homework / figures on selling $1.50 items into the UK for instance with $18.50postage?

ebay take 9.9% of invoice total, that'd be $1.98

paypal take a further 2.3% + 30c that'd be another .76cents

then there's your packing costs/envelope whatever

so to sell a $1.50 item you will be paying in excess of  $2.74

even selling in Australia with .70c postage (they are going to cost you $1.20 to post at least b t w)

they will cost 22c eBay and

35c paypal...=  0.57c each to sell
